Now that's what I call a real firefight. Planetside 2 players gathered for a good old-fashioned scrum over the weekend, with 1,158 grunts taking to the field to break the world record for the largest online FPS battle.

A major update for SOE's MMO shooter Planetside 2 has added an entirely new continent, the swampy land of Hossin.

In development for two years, Hossin is an infantry-focused zone with a lowered 'sky ceiling' and dangerous terrain that makes using aircraft and main battle tanks an awkward proposition. This one's for the foot-sloggers.

European players of MMO games PlanetSide 2, DC Universe Online and EverQuest 2 will have to transfer their accounts from third party company ProSiebenSat1 Games (PSG) over to developer Sony Online Entertainment in the next few weeks.

Players will have a 90-day window, currently estimated to run from July 1 to September 28 but not yet confirmed, to migrate their accounts from PSG to SOE.
